Loss and Survivor Spirit

President Obama surveyed Plaza Towers Elementary today while we were at another neighborhood close by. A neighborhood that was flattened, a neighborhood that contains only rubble and memories and a neighborhood where graduating senior Alyson Costilla was sifting through chaos... Her story is on World News Tonight. She lost her mom, her best friend who called Alyson in a Seven Eleven where she had taken cover on that fateful day... There is mo Seven Eleven there any longer-Alyson lost her mom. All that is left of her home are bits and pieces of things. But her spirit remains tough, at graduation yesterday when her name was called six friends held up her Mom's photo... It's stories like this that show the spirit of this town... Throughout the demolished neighborhood ...signs declared the will of the people and my favorite one... Someone sprayed this message on their home ... Check out my last photo... There is still humor in Oklahoma and a fighting spirit!
